Learn
I engage and motivate my audiences by teaching them how to turn current thinking and theory into practical classroom strategies, learning experiences and resources.
My professional learning opportunities are always ‘hands on’ coupled with classroom photographs, videos, artefacts, materials and books!
There are many options to investigate. I am always keen to innovate and think outside the square!
Professional Learning Event
One day (five hours) of professional learning directly tailored to the school’s current focus. This can be delivered online or onsite. Each event is designed to link to current theory with practical classroom strategies and resources that deliver enhanced outcomes for learners.
Webinar
Forty-five minutes of highly engaging professional learning for one nominated focus. You are provided with a teaching resource of strategies to implement the ‘very next day’.
The school nominates the focus, date, and time.
Professional Learning Partnerships
Choose from two options that combine both onsite or online professional learning with follow up webinars, coaching and demonstrations.
Packages can be tailored to your individual school’s requirement.
